"HELL, I'VE HAD BAD DREAMS EVER SINCE I LOOKED AT THOSE THREE RED EYES."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on pulp cover art to "Who Goes There?," the 1938 sci-fi novella written by John W. Campbell, Jr., and which would later be immortalized on film as John Carpenters "The Thing" in 1982. Artist unknown/undisclosed.

"...They haven't seen those three red eyes and the blue hair like crawling worms. Crawling -- damn, it's crawling there in the ice right now! "Nothing Earth ever spawned had the unutterable sublimation of devastating wrath that thing let loose in its face when it looked around this frozen desolation twenty million years ago. Mad? It was mad clear through -- searing, blistering mad!" Hell, I've had bad dreams ever since I looked at those three red eyes. Nightmares. Dreaming the thing thawed out and came to life -- that it wasn't dead, or even wholly unconscious all those 20 million years, but just slowed, waiting -- waiting. You'll dream, too, while that damned Thing that Earth wouldn't own is dripping, dripping in the Cosmos House tonight."

-- "Who Goes There?" (1938), Chapter 2, written by John W. Campbell (1910-1971)

"SCIENCE FICTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED AS A TOOL TO COMMENT ON OUR WORLD."

PIC(S) INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Spotlight on textless & published cover art to "STAR TREK: Year Five" Vol. 1 #1. April, 2019. IDW Publishing. Artwork by Greg Hildebrandt (reportedly Greg's first ST piece EVER, and created at a then sprightly 80 years old).

PIC #3: Cover art to "PREVIEWS" [The Comic Shop's Catalog] #365 (published February 2019), also utilizing Greg Hildebrandt's now classic "STAR TREK: Year Five" painting.

Resolution from largest to smallest: 1901x2630, 1134x1722, & 1200x1584.

Q: "How well did you know the original "STAR TREK" series? What did/do you appreciate most about it?"

GREG HILDEBRANDT: "So, when it first aired, I saw every episode. In those days, I knew it well. Today, I am not sure I could give you specific information on episodes, with the exception of a few. But as far as what I appreciate most about it is something I certainly can still remember. It was always so thoughtful as far as the story content was concerned. Science fiction has always been used as a tool to comment on our world.

Sci-fi writers disguised our world in the fantastic to make it more interesting as a vehicle to make us look at ourselves. Right off the bat, I could see that this new space opera was going to attack social, political, religious and racial issues. Which to me was art operating on its highest plain. So, I was thrilled to see it become a cult classic and go into syndication. I knew at that point it would be around to make an impact on many generations to come."

"The swordsmanship schools of Bas and the other Mercurian capitals of the Twilight Belt have never produced a finer fighter than Felicissima, daughter of the Grandmaster Felice. And there are no better schools in the Solar System."

The Twilight Zone S5E17

Number 12 Looks Just Like You

“Given the chance, what young girl wouldn't happily exchange a plain face for a lovely one? What girl could refuse the opportunity to be beautiful? For want of a better estimate, let's call it the year 2000. At any rate, imagine a time in the future where science has developed the means of giving everyone the face and body he dreams of. It may not happen tomorrow, but it happens now, in The Twilight Zone.”
